Question

Find the cost of two dozen pencils at 40 cent each

Answer 1

Recall that one dozen is equal to 12. Then, 2 dozen = 2 × 12 = 24.

To find the cost of all 24 pencils, we multiply 24 by the cost of one pencil, which is 40 cents.

`40*24=960`

Henceforth, the cost is 960 cents.

To convert to dollars, divide by 100. You get
`\$ 9.60`.

Answer:

The cost is $9.60

Explanation:

1 dozen = 12 pencils

2 dozen = 24 pencils
